Another great meal at BeetleCat! The donut brunch lights up my life, and I'm in a serious relationship with the lobster roll. I had the chef's selection of oysters this time... just excellent. Service is always personable and professional. I look forward to my next visit!

An excellent dining experience and the staff was superb. They are committed to quality. We visited for brunch and had the chicken and waffles which exceeded expectations. The vegetables and rice and the king biscuit rounded out our experience and were delicious. Highly recommend.

We had the venison special, duck and steak frites and it was all fantastic. The venison and duck were absolutely next level. When ducks on the menu you have to order it, is the motto I live by and I was not disappointed. It was amazing will go back and recommend to anyone.
